I spoke with Monte a few years ago, and here’s that story with his comments about baseball, society and the drop in numbers of African American ballplayers. The Giants have none. Neither do the Cardinals nor Diamondbacks.

I chatted with Shawon Dunston before the game, and his point was that modern players ought to respect and cherish history, not just Robinson. He mentioned a laundry list of players, black and white, and I’ll write about it for tomorrow’s Chronicle.

After our nterview, Dunston jogged on the field for pregame work. Then jogged back.

“Don’t forget Larry Doby,” he said.

Bruce Bochy said Jeremy Affeldt will be activated tomorrow and that Marco Scutaro is continuing with baseball activities – some good days with his back, some bad — not close to rejoining the Giants. Still.
